West European Impulses of Bulgarian Diabolism (A Look at the Bulgarian Literature of the 1920s)
Jeřábková, Zlatina ; Černá, Milada (advisor) ; Jensterle Doležal, Alenka (referee) ; Sýkora, Michal (referee)
West European Impulses of Bulgarian Diabolism (A Look at the Bulgarian Literature of the 1920s) Abstract Keywords: Bulgarian literature, expressionism, avant-garde, diabolism, horror fiction, marvelous, uncanny, Menippean carnival discourse, romanticism, naturalism, individualism Svetoslav Minkov (1902-1966), Vladimir Poljanov (1899-1988), Georgi Rajčev (1882 - 1947), Čavdar Mutafov (1889-1954) Contrary to its generally innovative potential for Bulgarian literature, the phenomenon called Bulgarian diabolism has been a marginal one from the point of view of literary discourse. The interest of postmodern writers and reviewers has given rise to accentuating some of the partial aspects of the works of Svetoslav Minkov, Vladimir Polyanov, Georgi Raychev and Chavdar Mutafov. However, with the exception of Thomas Martin's monograph Der bulgarische Diabolismus. Eine Studie zur bulgarischen Phantastik zwischen 1920 und 1934, published in 1993, works explicating the nature of the phenomenon in Bulgarian literature have been missing. Due to their novelty and impurity, the syncretic writings of Bulgarian diabolists, blending fading individualistic modernist tendencies together with elements of romantic fiction of horror in the generally expressionist roots of their works, were a phenomenon difficult to rank for their...

There and back again: the real and the fantastic world in the Jože Snoj's fantastic tales
Slezáková, Magdalena ; Jensterle Doležal, Alenka (advisor) ; Nedvědová, Milada (referee)
This thesis deals with the question of the two worlds (the real and the fantastic) in the Jože Snoj's fantastic tales. For the context, in first describes the genre structure of the children's prose and quickly reviews the Slovene children's prose in the second half of the 20th century; it also briefly characterizes Snoj's work. Furthermore, it explains the methodology: defines the fantastic tale as a genre (two dimensional storyline, the role of the children and adult characters, distinction between classical and modern fairy tales, double message etc.) and outlines basic problems: plot and storyline; form of the real and the fantastic world; relationship between both worlds and their mutual contact. These questions are analyzed in four Snoj's books: Barabákos in kosi, Avtomoto mravlje, Škorček norček and Palčki so!. Also, the thesis sketches out their thematic and stylistic specifics and, by synthesis, points out the author's main themes (the child and the adult; the man and the nature; the secret of being; the poetry) and the features of his style (playfulness; poetical language; communicativeness).

The Slovenian alienation poetry
Mžourková, Hana ; Jensterle Doležal, Alenka (advisor) ; Kozár, Aleš (referee) ; Poniž, Denis (referee)
The topic of our work is alienation lyric, especially that in the early works of Dane Zajc, Veno Taufer, Gregor Strniša (his collections from the years 1958-1965) and also in the mature core of Svetlana Makarovič's poetry (poems from the first half of the seventies, 20th century). In that time, the magazines Revija 57 and Perspektive were of significant influence on cultural climate of the period in Slovenia and they were also the intellectual background of artistic creation. There are several other lyrists working simultaneously with alienation poets and being close to them in some aspects: Božo Vodušek, Edvard Kocbek, Saša Vegri and Niko Grafenauer. Resemblance of their works to those of alienation lyric can partly be ascribed to the influence of existential philosophy which had a significant impact on Slovenian literary creation as well as on the cultural life as a whole in the sixties of the 20th century. We chose the viewpoint of the alienation lyric's fictional worlds in order to analyze and interpret particular collections of alienation poetry, the theoretical background for delimiting fictional worlds of lyric being Miroslav Červenka's reflexions. Central point of attention in our work is the lyrical subject and we also emphasize the existence of small fictional worlds (particular poems or series of...

The semantics of the space in Slovenian poetry in 1918-1941
Kozár, Aleš ; Jensterle Doležal, Alenka (advisor) ; Langerová, Marie (referee) ; Černá, Milada (referee)
This study focuses on Slovene literature of the period of expressionism. This period has been frequently discussed in different ways. And even more, the inquiry into this field has been also touched with ideological pressures, especially the authors preferring catholic point of view or, even though, different avant-garde movements. Theoretical approaches were often confusing as well, because of the lack of distance to the matter of study or due to mixing the terminology. Thus, many of current studies show certain kind of misuse of differences of the interpretations of the texts. Even the most up-to-date books, that examine this period of Slovene literature, do not eliminate this problem (Franc Zadravec: Slovenska književnost II.). In this study I'm comparing both the texts and authors of its time and on the other hand historical approaches to the classification of these writers. In this way I want to prove certain stereotypes in reading and classifying them. It seems that until today new theoretical approaches do not cope with the complete change of thinking this period. Slovene literature does not even have new critical issues of some of its most representative figures (e.g. Anton Podbevšek) and that is why the rethinking of it is quite complicated.

The myth and the reality of the king Matthias in Slovenian literature
Kastner, Katalin ; Nedvědová, Milada (referee) ; Jensterle Doležal, Alenka (advisor)
This thesis explores the development of the King Matthias myth in Slovene literature from the 19th century onward. Ever since first appearing at the end of the 15th century (the period of Ottoman wars in Europe), the myth of King Matthias has been an important part of the Slovene cultural heritage. Though historical evidence is scarce, it is believed that after a small army of Slovene peasants fell in battle while trying to fend off the Ottoman invaders. The locals came up with a compensatory story, claiming that the Slovene fighters were not killed, but instead retreated into hiding. Soon, the story became less and less rooted in reality, and new elements were added. The newly created myth describes an army of a hundred soldiers, lead by a Slovene king named Matthias - a figure based on Matthias Corvinus, an actual Hungarian king in that period. In the story, the army is outnumbered and facing certain death, when suddenly a nearby mountain opens up, offering king Matthias and the remaining soldiers shelter. Legend has it that one day the king is to return from the mountain, bringing with him peace and prosperity. It is important to note that for a long time, the myth of king Matthias was not mere superstition, but represented a very prominent spiritual figure for the Slovene people. The archetypal king was...

Josip Murn Aleksandrov
Nachlingerová, Zuzana ; Nedvědová, Milada (referee) ; Jensterle Doležal, Alenka (advisor)
Josip Murn is an slovenian poet, living 1879-1901. The poetry of Murn is mostly known as impressionistic, somethimes also designated as symbolistic, however, he is regarded as a full member of slovenian modernism now. The work concentrated on interpretation of Murn's poems. There are five main topics in Murn's poetic world, which are researched- these are: time, nature, space, God and love. There is also a special chapter dealing with a lyrical subject of the poetry and a chapter representing impressionism of his poetry. Two chapters consider the historical period and poet's life. The life influenced the work, regarding many tragic facts. Murn himself did not feel like a full member of any literate motion, but he was the one, who adopted new rules of free verse. Only one book of Murn was published after his death at the age of twenty two.

Early period of Protestant movement focused on Slovenian countries area and personality of Primož Trubar
Šebková, Hana ; Jensterle Doležal, Alenka (referee) ; Nedvědová, Milada (advisor)
Za téma pro zpracování své diplomové práce jsem si zvolila období a události, které předcházely nástupu reformačního hnutí a jeho ranné období působení. Vzhledem k studijnímu oboru jsem se pochopitelně zaměřila na oblast slovinských zemí a osobnost nejvýznamnějšího slovinského reformátora Primože Trubara (1508-1586). Tato doba, přibližně ohraničená léty 1480 až 1548, není obvykle v popředí zájmu badatelů a historiků. Pro většinu je lákavější se zabývat obdobím pozdějším, kdy reformace již plně propukla a přinášela výrazné změny a převraty ve starém, zavedeném řádu, který se v těchto oblastech udržel ještě z dob středověku. Můj zájem pramení z nepoznaného. Tato doba nebyla příliš detailně zpracována a především v Čechách není dostatek pramenů, z kterých by se český čtenář, či student příbuzných oborů, mohl dozvědět více o tomto období na území dnešního Slovinska. Pokusila jsem se zpracovat a podat svědectví o historických událostech, podmínkách života tehdejších lidí, a to všech vrstev značně rozčleněného obyvatelstva, vývoji kultury a národního sebeuvědomění, prostě o podmínkách, z kterých vyšlo hnutí, které později dokázalo zachvátit a téměř ovládnout celou Evropu. Protestantizmus neboli reformace, jako hnutí za "čisté evangelium", za obnovu "pravého a původního křesťanství", musel ukázat středověkou a...

Fair Vida: from popular ballad to drama of desire
Benhartová, Tereza ; Nedvědová, Milada (referee) ; Jensterle Doležal, Alenka (advisor)
Krásnou Vidu lze považovat za jeden z ústředních symbolů slovinské literatury. S tím souvisí i její obsahová šíře. Od dob vzniku lidové písně, která ve formě balady zaznamenala konkrétní historickou událost, se tento motiv stal jedním z nejrozsáhlejších zdrojů literární inspirace. Svědčí o tom jeho mnohá zpracování autory 19. a 20. století.126 Postupně se rozšiřoval o psychologické a antropologické přístupy, čímž se otevíralo spektrum interpretací. Lidová píseň o Krásné Vidě nebyla v 19. století již pouhým "historickým obrazem", ale žila svým vlastním životem, coby básnický útvar. Jako taková se stala motivací pro romantického básníka France Prešerna, který ji zbavil lidové epičnosti a vystavěl ji podle pravidel romantické lyriky. Promítl do ní vnitřní rozpor mezi ideálem a skutečností, přičemž zdůraznil toužení po nedosažitelném. Krásná Vida, v díle Ivana Cankara a bezpochyby i ostatních spisovatelů, není již Vida z lidové písně, ale především Prešernova Krásná Vida. Krásná Vida se mění ve slovinské literatuře především pode toho, co jednotliví autoři považovali za příčinu Vidina toužení. Původní lidová píseň je v tomto případě nejméně konkrétní. Poskytuje nicméně několik společných motivů. Vidu vyžene do světa neuvážené manželství, nemoc dítěte, špatná materiální situace, ale především naděje, že dostane...
